Police in the central province of Nghe An announced on July 14 that they have dismantled a major transnational drug trafficking ring, arresting two suspects and confiscating 60 bricks of heroin and 37 kg of methamphetamine.
The ring exploited remote border crossings in western Nghe An, previously known as Tuong Duong district, to smuggle narcotics from Laos into Vietnam for distribution across northern provinces, according to officials.
At around 9:30 pm on July 12, a joint task force of drug crime investigators and Yen Na communal police intercepted a seven-seater van, apprehending Ha Van Thin, 37, from Con Cuong commune, on charges of illegal drug transportation. Trailing close behind on a motorbike was Vi Thanh Tu, a 19-year-old from Tuong Duong commune, who was detained as a suspected accomplice.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities aim to uncover the full extent of the ring and its connections.
Police in the northern province of Phu Tho have recently recommended charges against 73 suspects from across the country in connection with a major transnational drug trafficking ring, one of the largest of its kind in Vietnam to date.
